| Description | Brandice Canes-Wrone, "Who Leads Whom?: Presidents, Policy, and the Public (Studies in Communication, Media, and Public Opinion)"Publisher: University Of Chicago Press | 2005 | ISBN | PDF | 192 pages | 1 MBWho Leads Whom? is an ambitious study that addresses some of the most important questions in contemporary American politics: Do presidents pander to public opinion by backing popular policy measures that they believe would actually harm the country? Why do presidents "go public" with policy appeals? And do those appeals affect legislative outcomes?Analyzing the actions of modern presidents ranging from Eisenhower to Clinton, Brandice Canes-Wrone demonstrates that presidents' involvement of the mass public, by putting pressure on Congress, shifts policy in the direction of majority opinion. More important, she also shows that presidents rarely cater to the mass citizenry unless they already agree with the public's preferred course of action. With contemporary politics so connected to the pulse of the American people, Who Leads Whom? offers much-needed insight into how public opinion actually works in our democratic process. Integrating perspectives from presidential studies, legislative politics, public opinion, and rational choice theory, this theoretical and empirical inquiry will appeal to a wide range of scholars of American political processes. NO MIRORS!!!Ha, ha, ha. It's more like who leads the leaders. The so called leaders pander to those with the real power, those with the money. To the public they pay lip service, as Sitting Bull would have said, they speak with fork tongue. They don't lead us anywhere apart to an early grave (& I don't just mean via their stupid wars). These leaders are the cause of crime & yet put ordinary folk in jail. These leaders are the cause of illness & yet, charge us for the attempted healing. In short these leaders have no real vision, they just continue with idiotic policies to serve the wealthy, abuse the poor & the not so poor. If you're looking for change don't look elsewhere - you have to be the change you demand. |
